just had my silver replaced after losing it with a black one, much better IMO.. put it side by side with the gf's silver for comparison and still think its better..

Silver!

Black has been a little done to death.
[One (M7) General] matuka123:
Nice, i like that people have opinios about the colour and everybody doesn't like the same one. Almost 50/50% vote.

I myself have and prefer the silver one. The black one is very cool but in the long run i think the silver looks better. (Also i heard the black one shows scratches more easily and finger prints, and stuff.) :highfive:
[One (M7) General] rilee:
Black all the way, both devices are equally beautiful but the black one wins me over easily!
[One (M7) General] ataft:
Both devices are beautiful, but not equal. Silver comes close, but the Black knocks it out of the park.

Fingerprints might be an issue to those that will use the phone without a case, but I imagine that is a very low percentage of users. I've got a superslim black case that blends right in with the phone, and it looks sexy.
[One (M7) General] DigitaL BlisS:
The black looks pretty damn sleek but I'm happy with the silver one.

[One (M7) General] vamsik:
Silver!

I went with silver because people instantly notice my One and go, "Whoa, what phone is that?!" It grabs people attention and it looks really good with the gray Poetic Atmosphere case. My friend has the black one with looks nice, but his already scuffed and people don't realize it's a different phone until they look at the screen. Black just looks like another phone from a glance.

The silver is way better.

Even the online retailers (flipkart for instance) are charging the silver variant 3k INR more than the black one.

First thing is the chipping and scratch problems. They'll be more visible in black ones than silver. Second, if you've got butter fingers, the oil and finger prints are more visible on the black variant than the silver One. :peace:
[One (M7) General] Skizzy034:
I did the same thing. I called for a replacement for my silver 32gb (gaps, everything else is perfect) and asked for a black one but they said they can only send the same color, that the system wouldn't let them change it. So they sent me a 64gb (which is odd since I thought they had to send the same exact phone). That one had a really warm yellow screen so they sent me out another 64gb silver and that one was even worse so I sent both back. I waited a week for them to get those back and called again. This time I said I DID NOT wanna try another silver one so they sent me a 32gb black (no 64's I'm stock of either color).

I'm really digging the black but I also really like the silver so I'm having a hard time choosing which to send back. Having OCD doesn't help. It's so hard for me to make "hard" decisions.. =/

P.S. I think the poll would be closer if the black was out at the same time as the silver. I think the silver has the lead it has because more people probably have it and they're not gonna vote for the color they don't have, even if they did want the black but didn't wanna wait.

[One (M7) General] spitfire2425:
They both look great, I can't choose one over the other. I decided on the silver because after a couple years of use I think the black will probably fade off from use and will show more blemishes.
[One (M7) General] goguxxx:
Mine is silver,but a have the double click case with red and grey speaker covers,so you cant even see the color .
[One (M7) General] barondebxl:
I owned the silver one twice for the past month and half. I just received the black one earlier this afternoon. In my personal opinion, the black One is BY FAR the better looking One. It is absolutely gorgeous, it's an understatement actually. Jeez does it look so beautiful. Not to say that the silver doesn't, off course it did but this black one is just something else. What I love is how the display, the bezel and the speakers blend in together, it is flawless. I didn't like it on the silver, the bezel was too visible. Aaron from phonedog seems to agree with me.

I'm getting a One today, but can't decide on color. I really want the Black but I'm concerned about durability, has there been any reports of chipping like on the Black iPhone 5's? Just haven't got time to read 50 pages.

Had my black One since early May. I've got two worn away spots on the top speaker grill on the sides. It is from my case fitting a little loose there. Other than that, no chipping or easy scratching.

Definitely does not have chipping problems.

[One (M7) General] riksa:
Red now when I saw it on the pics, looks awesome. But I'll go with the black One since I already own it.
[One (M7) General] danpdroid:
I originally thought silver because I cant remember the last silver phone I ever owned (I think it was a samsung flip phone), but I decided on black. I like to think my phone is flawless as far as quality is concerned, but I think its also harder to see the flaws on the black one (gap gate).

I've looked at both and then decided unerringly for the silver one. I have never regretted it, the look of silver is just great. Simply the best looking phone on the market.

[One (M7) General] robt772000:
I have both silver and black and alternate daily as I have them cloned to each other. I got a free silver one just after I contracted with the black. They both feel a lot different. Silver feels bigger for some reason. And the screens are different.
[One (M7) General] psygnosi:
I chose the Black one as well. Very nice without any flaws. Awesome phone. (Came from a Samsung Note 2 when I was 220lb. Lost weight to 165lb in 1 month. Slim and muscular which I treated myself to a HTC one Black version). It was a good incentive for me. Changed my lifestyle completely. New me, new phone.
[One (M7) General] valtonray:
I went with silver. I think it looks a lot nicer than the black model. No way I could go with red it's just to vibrant, reminds me of my lime green 1st gen lg chocolate from back in the day.
[One (M7) General] Beccalexa:
Like the both. I picked the silver one because I had grown a bit weary of black phones, having had so many "blackies" in the past. And I think the beauty of the aluminium shines a little more on a silver one.

Would have considered the red anodized one as well, had it been available were I live.
[One (M7) General] Duwie_80:
Just got mine in black,

Just compared both in store and noticed: you've seen many phones in black, many in silver (plastic, but it makes no difference) but very litte in matte black. Very elegant.

[One (M7) General] CraigP17:
Having played with the silver in person... I think I'll like the black alot better. Screen looked smaller than it is due to the silver top and bottom on the front.
[One (M7) General] simpelsense:
AW: Black/Silver? Whats your pick?

I orderd mine in silver. Looks much nicer.

And I have to say I had not the chance to preorder the black one. Can't wait for the 7.3. To get mine. That's what o2 Germany said.
[One (M7) General] Cristianop:
AW: Black/Silver? Whats your pick?

I cannot decide either. At the front I like the black more at the back the silver. Overall tending more to black.

And there comes my question. Is the black case comparable with sensation/dhd? Cause in all videos and fotos it looks kind of glossy.

Here a hands on of the black one

Im thinking black. Just have always preferred my phone being black, not white/silverish. I feel like if i had my phone themed dark it would look awkward on the white/silver phone.

I don't really care what colour it is. HTC are giving one to me at no charge so I'll let them choose the colour and the specs. My service contract comes up for renewal in 12 months so maybe I'll end up with one of each colour by then :)

Bugger. I'm going to have to go back on my word. I can't wait to get this!

As for the colour, my friend has an HTC One S in black which is also metal and started to Look like ****e in less than a week. The edges started to wear and the silver now shows through. The phone looks about six years old already.

So.. you bet at some point the paint will wear and show through. You'll need to carry a black marker pen and wish you'd have bought a silver "one"
